I have to stress to anyone wanting to try this to do what I did and find a good position on the pump for the magnet and test it out before final placement.
If you are not careful, the magnet could prevent the pump impeller from spinning and bake your 2080 Ti. 

Yeah, this alone is enough for me to avoid messing with the magnet. I'll just deal with the whine if my pump has it. I'd be afraid of the magnet possibly shifting over time or the impeller working harder to overcome the magnetic pull it's potentially fighting against, causing the pump to fail prematurely.

^ Interesting. Well I may have to give this magnet thing a try.

Now my question is, what size magnet do I use. Would something like this work?

Or did you use something smaller? Like this...

If it's the smaller one, I'm in luck because my wife has like 30 of those on our fridge for pictures. 

EDIT: Well that was scary. I went and grabbed one of those tiny neodymium magnets off the fridge (like the second link I posted just above) and gave it a try over the shroud. Moving it around I actually found that in most areas it made my impeller louder, which lends to my thinking that I actually have one of the quieter pumps. However, in one area it stopped the impeller entirely and my GPU temps instantly spiked from 34c to 48c. It really freaked me out because the impeller remained stopped even after I pulled the magnet away. It wasn't until I tried moving the magnet around different areas above the pump that I was able to get the impeller to start back up again. 

Needless to say, I immediately put the magnet back on the fridge and closed up my case. I won't be messing with that again. 
 

I have an update on the magnet mod. I think the magnet I used was too strong. I ended up replacing it with a much weaker magnet that I pried out of a kid’s plastic alphabet letter. The result is far less pull on the impeller but still greatly reducing the high pitch whine of the pump. The tonal sound of the pump sounds smoother with weaker magnet. Going to keep using the weaker magnet.

I have rtx 2080 ti gaming oc of gigabyte. Some kit hybrid is compatible with this card? Thanks.

The EVGA hybrid kit is not compatible with the Gigabyte 2080 Ti cards. EVGA uses a different RBG power connector on their cards to power the fan and pump on the kit.   

In the end I opted for the kraken and the truth is that they are a very good solution:

I tried the magnet mod and am very pleased with the result. Use the weakest magnet possible to achieve silence. The EVGA hybrid pump is now quieter than my CPU pump. The impeller is spinning fine as there is no change in my Furmark stress test and I can feel the liquid moving through the lines. I posted a video on YouTube. youtu.be/JaiZYGsjzeA

Interesting. That seriously sounds like you are slowing the impeller down, significantly. When I did basically this same thing my impeller went down to the same noise level but my temps in Precision X1 spiked by almost 20 degrees instantly.

So I did try as well the magnet over the pump (I did not have to remove the shroud since it's making contact with the pump housing).
 
And I would say that the results are pretty good, the whine is gone by 90% an the temps did not change (maybe 1 or 2C).
 
At first I thought it was completely stopping the impeller, but the temps were just fine and I Realized that maybe it was just slowing down or changing the impeller position avoiding the whine.
 
I can't post any pics since they won't let me copy URL. But the magnet is taped slightly off the center of the pump (opposite direction of the hoses).
 
Temps are around 58c and it's OC with +105 on core
+950 on memory and temps never above 55c
both fans are set to run around 55%.
 
I did a push/pull on rad to lower temps, it improved at least 5 to 8c.
 
Turing card are way hotter compared to Pascal, they should have used a 140mm rad.

could you please take a picture to where did you put the magnet exactly 
you can upload them on imgur and post the album URL without (http://www.)

Allright i tried it. As my GPU is mounted vertically, i could move around and see where it become quiet at. 
 
Its under the center away from the hoses like someone mentioned. At the lower part. 
 
2 things though: 1) This might have a bad effect on the gpu in the long run? 2) I dont think i will be using this as the point of mounting a GPU vertically is aesthetics and this ruins the whole thing. 

It looks good but the only issue I see is no cooling on the VRM on the left of the pump. probably why that kit is not listed as fully compatible with the RTX 2080 Ti. You might want to add some heat sinks to them so they won’t overheat.

I thought about buying the hybrid kit. Then seeing all these horror stories about buzzing and DIY fixes I'm just gonna stop. That is a $100+ kit FFS on top of a $1000+ video card. How the heck can quality be so poor??

Did any one tried this on his 2080ti

Check out NZXT and Corsair as they might have hybrid kits for this but check compatibility first.

Corsair has a hybrid kit for the 2080/2080 ti?!? Link please!

What does that have to do with the AIO pump making a high pitched buzzing sound?

I'm sure PX1 can be programmed not only to control the fans but pump too but I don't even think we're even close to that stage till they get it at least stable for some.

Unfortunately it looks like Corsair doesn't have any for the new series but it won't hurt to check with them via phone/email.

The good new is, NZXT does have a compatible GPU bracket (G12) to be used with MOST of the AIOs for the RTX 2080/2080Ti.  Just make sure to remember for the 2080 and 2080 Ti, you will need to use the AMD "A" bracket instead of the Nvidia "N" backet for future reference.

Check this video for installation. 
 

 
As you can see here, the list of the compatible GPUs for this bracket and the amazing part is, you can use most of the competitor AIOs so you if you're already using Corsair hardware plus their software or which ever your main mfgr you're using, you can use one of the compatible AIOs and not have to worry about buying and adding more software clutter for control and monitoring.

While I have the EVGA hybrid kit and find it to work great (my pump seems to be much quieter than most), I do think the NZXT bracket with an NZXT AIO would be the way to go for those who are on the fence with their AIO options for this card.

It's going to be quieter and it gives you the opportunity to go with a bigger 240, 280, or 360mm radiator with multiple 120 or 140mm fans. I suspect load temps will be notably improved with a setup like that. But this comes with two downsides:

1) Aesthetically, the NZXT bracket and AIO options aren't going to look as clean as the EVGA hybrid cooler. Especially with the large amount of wiring that comes off of the Kraken cooler pumps.
2) It's going to cost a little more than the EVGA hybrid kit. Bracket is $30 (LINK) and NZXT AIO is $150 - $180, depending on which one you choose. 

Going with another AIO can probably decrease your cost, but if you're going to go through all this effort, I'd HIGHLY recommend going with at least a 240mm radiator to help improve cooling. 

Will doing this Void the 3 year warranty? I think so. 
 
Anyways, since i ordered my 2080ti ftw3 from newegg, i decided to call them and thankfully i had 2 days left for a return & refund, so thats exactly what im doing, will not RMA since no one that has ever posted said they had a quiet 2080ti ftw3 Hybrid. At the same time i went ahead and ordered the 2080ti FTW3 ultra air cooled. Fan noise at load will not matter to me since i will be wearing the headsets while gaming, on idle it will be dead silent or so i hope, as the fans rpm is 0 at idle, what im certain about is that i prefer some fan noise at load to non stop buzzing all the time.
 
The only downside to this is that i will not mount vertically as the aircooled version is a 3 slot and my vertical mount in the case is a 2 slot.... That sux cause the aircooled version looks aesthetically more pleasing than the hybrid....cant have it all though....u win some lose some

First thing is, you will never void the warranty as long as you return a GPU in it's original condition so if you want to add a Waterblock, another 3rd party GPU bracket and AIO or change the thermal paste, all is fine as long as you put that original cooler back on the GPU to it's original state for RMA. 

I also think you made a great decision by having both air and liquid just in case you get sick of one or the other and always have a back up cooler. 


As for going vertical via 2 slotter, you could just purchase the 2 slotter separately and just swap the 3 slotter for the 2 slotter when installing the hybrid system.

Ah wow! i didnt know a part like this existed? Can you please elaborate more. So i can purchase this 2 slotter, and then i have to unscrew the 3 slotter from my video card? Thats it or is it more complicated? Do i have to change anything in the gpu, like remove a heatsink or something? Or just changle the slot metal part and thats it? 
 
Oh and i dont have the liquid anymore, my 2080ti ftw3 hyrbis was pre-installed from evga, im in the process of returning it to newegg for a refund, but i ordered the aircooled one simultaneously. The hybrid was already 2 slots so didnt have a problem mounting it vertically, the aircooled one is 3 slots..
